    Are UW video lights additive

    Assuming two lights are shining their circles together at the same spot, (fully overlapped and at the same distance) the light energy of two seperate lit spots (at the wall) should be fully additive when the spots are fully overlapped. The percieved human brightness might not be twice. The...

    Hall effect switch - help

    The the HE switch i been using can switch up to 50ma , i think that is enough for a micro relay or a optorelay which can handle 3amps. I sympathize that part selection can be bewildering so there are so many! You have not disclosed the purpose of your project. Successful Circuit design is...

    Thinking about switching to a smaller system

    Certainly more weight is harder to travel with, but would more housing weight help with video stability?

    if cameras start using led flash will slaves still work ?

    I was reading about led flash on cameras , on cell phones now, but if this keeps evolving then this might reach point and shoots. The claim is that less power is needed but there longer exposures are needed. If this occurs , then will underwater optical slaves flashes still work?

    Reviews: Ikelite Pro-V8 LED ? ? ?

    I use two on my housing, i dont know how to really compare them to other leds , but they much better then the two Shockwaves2 i use to use. The light output pattern are very even, they do have a angle of about 45, which allows less wasted light outside the frame. The soft edges are easy to...

    Aquashot 3 Digital retrofit

    Im not aware of anything that is known to line up , did any thing else turn up during internet searching ? There are so many little cameras where the lens is too far to the left ( right?) to line up in the housing. Also if the lens is a zoom, many of those can stick out too far and hit inside...

    Implementing LANC on newer Sony camcorders with 10-pin AV connectors?

    My camera is the hc9 and it also has the 10pin connector. (and the 2.5mm lanc jack) I obtained cable J-6082-535-A which provides lanc and composite video at the same time to the 10pin on the camera. I used the meter to check for the resistor and i did see it. Then i tried it inside my...

    Sony HC 9 "is it worth going HD with?

    i still use a hc9 underwater. Yes focus problem would be for any camera, It important having the abilty to fix-focus for low contrast scenes such as low water visablity. but auto focus is not a problem other then that. When given a button on the housing the photo button will get you a still...
